Whether they're for an actual baby or just given as a gag gift (rearview mirror decoration? cubicle conversation piece? paperweight?), these l'il kicks would make an awesome gift. Assuming, of course, you can get over the fact that they seem to cost nearly as much as the full-scale versions.

New Balance[5] has 'em. So does Nike[6], adidas[7], Saucony[8], and very likely several other running shoe makers that I'm too lazy to track down.

Also in keeping with the theme, I will now throw the conversation open to you guys: Can you top this running-related gift, in terms of cuteness? Go ahead and try. I dare you.
